NAME: Super Multi-in-One series (17 titles) AUTHOR/VENDOR: various unknown Hong Kong pirate companies RELEASED: various TYPE: Multigame LANGUAGE: various PREMISE: We've known about the existence of a big pirate game market in Hong Kong for some time, whose specialty was ripping off popular titles and issuing them on multigame carts. Leave it to one of G3's field reporters, Zhenying Wu, to stumble across a small cache of them on eBay in September 1998. His find started a big expansion to this entry, so let's give a big round of applause for his efforts! Oh, and while I'm at it, let's also give a big "thank you" to Kossman for his original eBay auction posting. IMPRESSIONS: What is there to say? The ones that aren't direct rips or pirated versions of Japanese games are pretty sad, by all accounts. Let's hope someone gets these to me so I can judge them more objectively. All I have to go on right now on my part are poor-quality scans of the horrendous box/cart art and what limited data I can gather from back-channel sources. VARIATIONS: These go by various names and various assortments, but are most commonly referred to as the "Hong Kong pirate carts." I've tried to match commercial games with their Hong Kong counterparts, but these matches are tentative at best. MegaDrive 16-in-1 (This is one of only two known MegaDrive carts that are actually SMS carts in disguise, with the other being Phantasy Star MD. It includes 16 SC3000/SMS games - My Hero, Soccer, Baseball, Teddy Boy, Ghost House, Bank Panic, Machine Gun, Astro Flash, Spy vs. Spy, Pit Pot, Hang-On, Satellite 7, Super Tennis, Super Astro, Easy Ghost, and Kid Fighter. Super Astro is a retitled Astro Flash, and Easy Ghost is a retitled Ghost House. Many thanks to Obscure Pixels for the info and the cart/box scans.)
